Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Nude/Topless Maid Service

I am considering running a topless/nude maid service. This would be initially just me, possibly hiring employees if demand grows.

Is this type of business somehow illegal in Virginia or the city of Alexandria, VA? Does topless versus nude make a difference? All services would be performed in the homes or offices of clients, in the Washington DC Metro area. All clients would be over 18. I am over 18. NO sexual acts would be performed; I would simply clean houses while nude or topless, while a paying client watched.

I live in Alexandria, VA. I would be keeping all records and answering inquiries from my home in Alexandria.

Any advice?

Re: Nude/Topless Maid Service

The questions you ask are complicated and they involve different areas

of law including criminal law matters, zoning law, business licensing,

state laws and statutes, county ordinances, multi-jurisdictional areas

(VA, DC, MD, the defintition of nude versus topless, etc.

The bottom line is that the legal advice will vary depending on the

specific facts and circumstances.

I highly recommend that you secure counsel before you proceed because

the penalties (including criminal and civil) might be severe.

If you need further info, please give me a call.
